After an interview there might be a period of waiting
on a call from your prospective employers. This could
run from a few days to a few weeks. The question is,
what do you do during that period? Many of you reading
this think that you might be the only one waiting like
what seems forever, full of stress and anxiety, for your
interviewer(s) to call you with an answer. However, you re
not alone. Here s an example of one answer to a particular
situation that might be similar to a lot of others.
In the May 6, 2014 Ask The Headhunter Newslet-
ter, a reader wonders what to do while waiting for the
job offer:
"I went in for an interview and all went great. I met
with the personnel manager and the division manager.
They called me back in a few days later to meet with the
regional manager since he was in town. It also went well.
The discussion was more general and laid back. I went
back today to take a test.
I am trying not to get too fired up about all of this.
But, I have to think that no company would subject an
applicant to all of this without leaning toward the hire.
When should I expect an offer? I figure that there can t
be much more for me to do than meet with some more
top-level managers and take a personality test. Do you
agree?"

Great expectations can leave you high and dry.
"I have to think that no company would subject an
applicant to all of this without leaning toward the hire."
Never, ever, ever get into this mindset. This is the
point where people start to build unreal expectations
because they feel they ve "invested so much." They ve
been invited back for lots of interviews. Everything "has
gone well." They start to believe the employer is now
"heavily invested," too. They wonder not whether an offer
will be made, but how long it will take. The outcome is
obvious, right?
Absolutely not.
The truth is, you have no idea what a company s thresh-
old is for taking action. Some companies will string you
along --- often unwittingly --- for months, then take no
action at all. As a headhunter who has dealt with more
interviews than any job hunter ever will, I can tell you
that most job opportunities go south.
In my experience, there is little correlation between
how well the interviews have gone and whether a hire
is made. Of course, when the outcome is positive, we
can look back and see that everything clicked in the inter-
views. But much more often we re left scratching our
heads, wondering what went wrong.
For reasons that are usually clear as mud, a seemingly
positive interview process often stalls and dies. You never
find out why. And you couldn t have predicted the result.
So what is my point? Manage your expectations so
you can manage your job search. Don t get sucked
into foregone conclusions, because that will lead you to
waste your time. While you re counting on that "sure
thing," you re missing other opportunities. There is no
sure thing.
You should do your best with every job opportunity.
Follow the process through to the end. Remain motivated
and enthusiastic. Ask for feedback as you proceed. (That s
legit and important.)
